Question: Why is dating so hard?

Dear Betty,

Why is dating so hard?

Dating can be an exhilarating and thrilling experience, filled with anticipation and the promise of finding love and companionship. However, it can also be incredibly challenging and downright hard at times. One of the reasons why dating is so difficult is because it requires a strong sense of self. In order to successfully navigate the dating world, you need to have a clear understanding of who you are, what you want, and what you deserve in a partner. This level of self-awareness can take time to develop and can often be a daunting task. It requires introspection, self-reflection, and coaching. But once you have a solid sense of self, dating becomes easier because you know what you bring to the table and what you are looking for in a relationship.

Another reason why dating can be challenging is because of our fundamental need for someone to trust and confide in. Trust is the foundation of any healthy relationship, but it can be difficult to find someone who is trustworthy. In today’s modern dating world, where ghosting and breadcrumbing have become all too common, it can be hard to know who is genuine and who is just playing games. This constant fear of being hurt or betrayed can make it hard to open up and let someone in. It takes time and patience to find someone who is truly trustworthy and willing to reciprocate the vulnerability required for a successful relationship.

Despite the challenges, dating is also filled with excitement, joy, and the potential for finding true love. So, embrace the journey and keep an open heart, because you never know when you’ll meet that special someone who will make all the challenges of dating worthwhile.

Finding that person was an uphill battle, but Betty made me feel as though I was not alone. She helped me believe in myself and walked the path with me in such a way that I found someone amazing… and learned more about myself in the process. In my eyes, that’s a double win! – Bruce W, Nashville TN
